Madonna Yeah, I Was Late ... Screw You for Booing Me!!

Published | Updated

Madonna let it be known there's only room for one diva on her tour -- and that's her -- after she lit up fans who booed her for showing up late for a Manchester, England concert.

Madge blamed Monday night's delay on technical difficulties, but first she responded directly to the sea of boos in the most Madonna way ever: "All you bitches who keep complaining about it can shut the f*** up!"

Her tirade got even more detailed ... you gotta hear her run down of what she was NOT doing during the delay.

Even at 57, Madonna can still get her bitch on.

THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH HER

Carrie Fisher seized control of the red carpet livestream during the premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ... and it was everything you could have hoped for.

Fisher went a tad off script, as she tried to hurl questions at fellow co-star Oscar Isaac at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood ... bringing up her hard partying days, and ending with a barrage of curses.

We've missed you, Princess Leia.

Justin Bieber Busted for Chirping Out His Ferrari

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber put on an awesome show with his Ferrari, but he did it in front of a cop, and ended up getting busted for it.

The Biebs hit up The Grove in L.A. on Friday and when he left in his icy blue whip ... he punched it, peeling out of the parking lot. Seconds later an LAPD cruiser pulled him over, and apparently wrote him up. A source close to Justin tells us the singer made an illegal left turn.

We're sure his THREE top 10 songs will take the sting out of the ticket.

Stitches Parking Lot Beatdown ... First Video of K.O. #2

Published | Updated

Stitches should change his name to Punches -- the rapper got slugged less than 24 hours after The Game's manager laid him out, and now there's video.

A source close to the rapper says the people delivering this smackdown were all current or former members of Stitches' crew. We're told one guy thought Stitches was setting him up to get robbed -- so he arranged a meeting last Saturday at a Florida barbershop.

When Stitches showed up, it was on. You can see in the video ... he tried to run, but ended up catching a few solid shots to the face. Remember, he was just coming off a night in jail and the K.O. at the hands of Wack 100, Game's manager.

No one brags about an ass whupping better than Stitches.

Heisman Candidate Derrick Henry SEC Denies Photoshopping Tattoo

Published | Updated

Did the SEC photoshop a picture of Heisman Trophy candidate Derrick Henry to get rid of his arm tattoos and give him a more clean cut image???

That's what a lot of people are saying after taking a look at the image the SEC tweeted out this week in an effort to congratulate the running back on winning SEC Offensive Player of the Year.

A rep for the SEC tells TMZ Sports the short answer is NO -- but they do admit the pic WAS modified using a filter.

"We didn't photoshop the picture that we posted on social media sites at all," a spokesperson tells us.

"The filter we used is the only explanation for Derrick Henry's tattoos not being visible in the picture. We used that particular filter because it's the same one we have used all year for our player of the week posts."

BTW, Henry is the odds on favorite to win the Heisman this weekend -- and he'll probably get a tattoo to commemorate it.

Kanye West Goodwill Faces the Music We Screwed Up

Published | Updated

Goodwill now admits it was anything but charitable plastering Kanye West's face over its newsletter, and the org is now humbly apologizing.

Our Goodwill rep tells us they meant no disrespect when they used Kanye's mug as a way of schooling supervisors on how to react to different scenarios in the workplace. Goodwill says it felt it was being "relatable" by using the rapper's face, but in hindsight they realized it was wrong.

The newsletters has now been pulled from all its stores and donation centers.

The rep says, "We’d like to apologize to Kanye West, his fans and the community for the use of his image to illustrate an internal training message. It was unacceptable and Goodwill takes full responsibility for this action and meant no disrespect to Kanye."

Goodwill Warns Workers ... 'Resting Kanye Face' Not Welcome Here!!!

Published | Updated

The folks at Goodwill are telling their employees to be on the lookout for 'Kanye face.'

Honchos based in the Illinois division have fired off a newsletter instructing employees on how to have appropriate reactions and emotions in the workplace.

The bosses make it clear ... Kanye's zombie face is not the way to do business. When you're happy, show it. When you're concerned, adjust your face accordingly. Translation ... Kanye's "one size fits all" look is inappropriate and ineffective.

The newsletter has pissed off some employees who are Kanye fans, who feel it's wrong to make the rapper the poster child for emotionally vacant worker bees.

A&E's 'American Takedown' Sued READ THE SIGN ... We're Lawyers, Not Crooks!

Published | Updated

A&E Network went gunning for alleged fraudsters, but due to a ONE SECOND screwup ... a couple of DUI attorneys got burned instead, and now they're doing what attorneys do.

The snafu went down during an episode of "American Takedown" -- a Morgan Spurlock produced investigative show -- which was tracking lawyer Cory Meltzer and chiropractor Roger Bell. They were suspected of pulling an insurance fraud scam in South Florida.

Problem is, the program aired a quick shot of the wrong Meltzer & Bell signage. Instead of the counselor and the chiro's office ... it showed a sign for Larry Meltzer and Steven Bell, DUI attorneys.

Larry and Steven say the error hurt their good name (yes, that can happen to lawyers) ... and could potentially damage their business. They reached out to A&E and got an apology letter from an executive producer who admitted the mistake and said A&E would air a retraction.

Apology not accepted ... Meltzer & Bell sued 3 months later for unspecified damages.

Jared Leto So Sorry Taylor Swift ... I Think You're Awesome

Published | Updated

Jared Leto says he's sorry for going off on Taylor Swift.

TMZ broke the story ... Jared was in the studio with his Thirty Seconds to Mars bandmates when he flipped from admiring T-Swift's 16 count, to saying "F*** her!"

Jared tweeted an apology to Taylor and her fans, saying, "The truth is I think Taylor Swift is amazing + an incredible example of what's possible," adding, "If I hurt her or her fans my sincerest apologies."

TMZ posted video of Jared in a studio session where he and a bandmate were using Taylor's songs as inspiration and in a moment of frustration hurled the f word. It's actually a compliment, if you break it down.

Jared Leto Screw Taylor Swift!! But I'd Love One of Her Hits

I'LL CURSE YOUR NAME

Jared Leto did a full 180 on Taylor Swift in a matter of hours -- first, turning to her for musical inspiration, but ultimately deciding, "F*** her!"

Leto and one of his Thirty Seconds To Mars bandmates were in an L.A. studio a couple of months ago trying to cook up some ideas for new music and thought Taylor was the perfect muse. Let's face it, the chick makes hits.

But here's why this video is amazing ... you see them listen to a bunch of 1989 tracks -- "Welcome to New York," "Blank Space" and "Style" -- and critique the music. They really dig Taylor's 16 count.

But frustration with capturing the Swifty sound eventually sets in, and Jared takes a shot ... we think at her music, not Taylor personally.

We're guessing they're somewhere listening to Adele right now.

Rich Homie Quan Drops Anti-Gay Rant on Fan

THE HOMOPHOBIC RANT

Rich Homie Quan went OFF on a male fan he says tried to grope him, yelling ... “I don’t f*** with no f*****’ f**s.

Quan was doing a show in Tallahassee on Wednesday night, when he says a guy in the front row reached up and tried to grab his junk -- and that's when RHQ lost it.

Watch the clip, and listen closely for, "Get your gay ass away from me! I don’t f*** with no f*****’ f**s! Looking’ like Young Thug … get the f*** away from me.”

He ended the rant with, "I don’t like sissies, n***a!”

In the aftermath, Quan seemed more worried about pissing off Young Thug than any of the homophobic epithets. His DJ insisted the fan really did look like Young Thug.

Young Thug says he'll give RHQ "a pass" for the comment. Not sure the gay community will do the same.

Leo DiCaprio NOT Raped By Bear ... FOX Confirms

Published | Updated

Leonardo DiCaprio is NOT raped by a bear in a scene from his latest movie -- that's the bizarre statement FOX Studios just released.

FOX felt compelled to shut down widespread Internet rumors about a controversial scene in "The Revenant" where Leo is attacked by a bear. For some reason (we haven't seen the movie) someone thought the bear raped the star ... twice.

A spokesperson for FOX told EW, "The bear in the film is a female who attacks [Leo] because she feels he might be threatening her cubs ... there is clearly no rape scene with a bear."

Case closed. No bear rape. It's still unclear why anyone saw the attack as sexual in its nature.

Yes, Leo wants an Oscar, but we're guessing he doesn't want it THAT badly.

5 Seconds of Summer Calum's Sticking and We're Down with the Wiggles!

Published | Updated

5 Seconds of Summer broke some big news to us about the band's future -- and no, we're not only talking about Calum Hood's rumored departure ... we're talking The Wiggles!!

The guys were getting mobbed by fans at LAX on Monday when our photog, Charlie -- who's Australian like 5SOS -- popped a question about the true kings of the Down Under music scene.

Yes, The Wiggles do kids music, but they've been at it for nearly 25 years! So the guys sounded like they'd consider a collabo -- but they said it in a very 5SOS way. Check it out.

Oh, and don't worry ... bassist Calum Hood also addressed whether that cryptic tweet means he's thinking about pulling a Zayn Malik.

But seriously, a "Hot Potato" duet would be awesome, right?

Chris Duhon DUI Arrest Passed Out In Driver's Seat ... Engine Running

Published | Updated

Ex-Duke basketball star Chris Duhon was arrested for extreme DUI on Monday morning after cops found him passed out in his car with the engine running ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cops responded to a call of a "man down" around 4 AM in Eleanor, West Virginia. Officials say officers found 33-year-old Duhon, who is currently an assistant basketball coach at Marshall, fast asleep in his Ford Escape with the keys still in the ignition.

When they woke him up, cops say they noticed Duhon's eyes were red and his speech was slurred. He was taken to the Putnam County Court House after failing three field sobriety tests.

This is where it gets crazy ... cops say Duhon took a breathalyzer test while getting booked and blew a .202 ... more than TWO AND HALF times the legal limit.

Duhon was released on $1,000 bond and has been suspended by the Marshall athletic department for "violating the department's rules and policies."

Duhon was a stud at Duke from 2000 to 2004 -- winning a national title in 2001 -- and later spent 9 seasons in the NBA.
